Hey Bulldog is a song by The Beatles which appears on their album Yellow Submarine. The track starts off with a very definitive piano riff which honestly reminds me of something from a spy movie to be honest, and when the guitar and bass join in, this thought is …

New Moon Movie Soundtrack
I’m sorry. I just can’t like the books. I can’t stand the movies. I have no fangirl fantasies of being swept away by a semi-dead 108-year-old virgin who wants to carry on tales of how he would destroy me if he made love to me and …

Madonna : Hard Candy
Albums of the 11th Madonna released, could be described as an ambitious project from Madonna. 12 songs with up-beat tempo, many include elements of hip-hop, although still strong in the style of Madonna.

Animal Collective - Graze (Song)

Hail to the Thief, 2003 Album by Radiohead

Over the years, Michael Jackson was become more well-known for his eccentricities than for his music.
